Guy Martin - How Britain Worked Bundle - Description

How Britain Worked

Guy Martin’s a huge fan of engineering, and British
engineering in particular. In this series he rolls up his sleeves and gets to
work exploring the legacy of the ever-innovative Victorians. Each episode sees
him take on a new challenge in different areas of work: rebuilding a pioneering
steam engine, restoring a Brixham trawler, maintaining the world’s oldest
operational water turbine at a Yorkshire sawmill, making glass for the
Birmingham Botanical Gardens glasshouse, fixing ironwork on Llandudno pier and
overhauling and driving a massive steam locomotive on the Severn Valley
Railway. Along the way Guy meets loads of fascinating characters, learns new
skills and uncovers the social history of the Industrial Revolution.

The Boat that Guy Built

The original Guy Martin TV series saw the Lincolnshire
legend team up with his old mate Mave to build and kit out a narrow boat. But they didn’t do it the easy way - they
used ‘Reckless’ as a way to discover old working methods that gave the
Industrial Revolution its force: they smelted iron, wove silk, made their own
baked beans and even visited Thomas Crapper & Co in search of the perfect
loo!
